Summary Introduction
To write:
The advantage the predator obtains by responding to volatile signals emitted from herbivore damaged plants and the advantage plant obtains by attracting enemies of attackers.
Introduction:
When herbivorous insects damage plants, the leaves release small quantities of volatile chemicals. These volatile chemicals attract
